A pump, a smart pen, or some aps do the same thing for you. The group was started by Gary Scheiner who wrote Think Like a Pancreas, an excellent book.  He is really well respected in the diabetic community.But I am really wondering if working on your timing will help. I have found for me that once I pass a certain higher number, it takes more insulin to bring down those numbers and you stay stubbornly higher when you are there. And then sometimes you rage bolus because you don't seem to be dropping trying to get BG's levels to come down, and then you end up dropping too much. I think it's much easier for me not to reach those numbers in the first place. It takes less insulin and if your timing is close (of the right dosing) you don't usually go too high or at least don't stay there and then also don't end up going too low because you added more insulin.Always make small adjustments when changing what you dose.</blockquote>
